Implementation of New Guidelines to Improve Healthcare and Prevent Harm: The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) requires Inspectors General to perform an annual independent evaluation of their agency’s information security programs and practices to determine the effectiveness of those programs and practices. HHS OIG engaged Ernst & Young LLP (EY) to conduct this audit. Overall, through the evaluation of FISMA metrics, it was determined that the HHS’ information security program was “Not Effective.” This determination was made based on HHS’ inability to meet the “Managed and Measurable” maturity level for the Core and Supplemental Inspector General metrics in the function areas of Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Overall, the HHS information security program rated ineffective for FY 2023, matching the evaluated program rating from FY 2022. An information security program is crucial for protecting an organization's data and systems from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, or alteration. It involves a comprehensive approach to safeguarding digital and physical information assets, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information. #unitedseniorassociation #USA #eldercare #FDA #seniorliving #ADA #AI #NIH #patientcare #compliance #hospitals #OIG #healthcare #HHSOIG #digitalhealth #HSS #CMS #assistedliving #nursinghomes #seniorcare #medicare #seniorcitizen #homehealthcare #caregiver #dementia #inhomecare #seniorhealth #kloekorby #alzheimers #mentalhealth

It was such a great week at the Accenture Oracle Leadership Council (AOLC) in sunny Orange County. While this conference is devoted to many industries including Health, what struck me were the common themes that spanned all industries. For example, the importance of a well though-out strategy, the back-end tools and processes to enable a well-functioning business, and the critical role that change management and communication plays. Effective communication is afterall, the secret sauce to effective Leadership. Check out the video below to see more on some of the key take-aways and highlights coming out of the week. #AOLC #revinvention #leadership #innovation

Now that our HIT industry has spent nearly 40 years figuring out how to effectively pass data between sites, settings, and institutions of care (and while that journey isn't completely over, we're well on our way), we can finally turn and look farther down the road and consider what's next. In my view, advancing process consistency, agility, and change is that horizon. The BPM community is focused on that challenge, and having recently transitioned into HL7 as HL7 BPM, is squarely trying to take this on. With today's press release, HL7 is truly open-for-business in this space. Thanks to the OMG for nurturing this work along and for HL7 for having made our next home for this effort. So much to do! https://lnkd.in/dAF96g3n

Great report on #carecoordination by PwC. We believe this is one of the most critical topics in #healthcare today. "Care coordination provides an opportunity to offer clarity and order within the healthcare ecosystem...The benefits and opportunities of effective and at-scale care coordination are experienced by multiple stakeholders within the health ecosystem including regulators, providers, payers, healthcare professionals and patients. Adopting and implementing effective care coordination can support and enhance healthcare transformation strategies and programmes, including payment reforms, models of care, population health management, patient-centric care, and precision medicine. This is ultimately underpinned by technology, as digital solutions are required to provide timely, sufficient, accurate data to those involved in delivering care and support the transition from care coordination to care orchestration." If care coordination is top of your priority list, look no further than CAREFUL. PwC Middle East Richard Jenkins Lucy Deas Parisa M. https://lnkd.in/eakEACTH

HHS has released its final rule on disincentives for information blocking. This includes considerations for each of hospital/CAH providers under the Promoting Interoperability Program, individual providers through MIPS, and for ACOs under the Medicare Shared Savings program. From the following press release, “This final rule is designed to ensure we always have access to our own health information and that our care teams have the benefit of this information to guide their decisions." #hhs #interoperability #informationblocking #ONC https://lnkd.in/gNQm69CC
